Over
the past 10 years, I have spoken with some of the leading authorities,
academics, demographers and experts on the long term consequences
of immigration. At no time in the past 40 years has there been any
benefits to immigration both legal and illegal. A whopping 100 million
people added themselves to our civilization in four decades

Where
has it gotten us? Answer: more conflict, more debt, less jobs, lowered
standard of living and more problems ever in the history of the United
States of America.

I
spoke with Bromwell Ault, 81, and director of Center for Public Conscience
about his take on what we face as a civilization.

Please
give us an idea of our future Mr. Ault:

“Our
country and its government are now threatened by a half dozen major
issues all of which individually have the power to seriously diminish
the quality of life as we know it for our society, and in combination
to reduce it to a level of difficulty we refuse to recognize and,
therefore, may not be able to endure,” said Ault. “Culture
is one of these issues. They have much in common and often overlap
in their origins and consequences, and yet we continue to ignore the
fact that in varying degrees they are the result of our own action
or neglect.

“With
our involvement, efforts and choice of direction they would not now
be a cause for concern. “Our” in these matters can relate
to societal or national scope, and sometimes a combination of both.
Critical areas that we will examine in future issues will be our national
debt, immigration, population, our environment, religion and economic
policy. Key to our understanding of them is how they have developed,
how they interrelate in many ways and why they have defied any sensible
solution.

“But
even with this information in hand, a crucial question of our time
and politics must be asked, debated and resolved — In a democratic
republic such as ours, how can such vast, societal questions be put
to the public? And, of course, more importantly, and in reverse form
– how can the American voter best express his/her opinion on
these vital topics in the face of our central government’s failure
to engage them. Does the individual citizen have the right, or the
means, to determine cultural, social, environmental, etc. parameters
in our or other nations?

“In
1911 Baron Hardinge, Viceroy of India, convened a Durbar in Delhi
that was personally attended by King George V and Queen Mary of England.
It was a momentous event for both countries. The Durbar was the occasion
of assembly of local rulers whose wealth, status, costume, troops
and custom were on full display. King George and Queen Mary sat for
hours beneath a canopy to receive and review each leader and his special
troops. In one of the week’s defining moments, formations of
50,000 British and Indian soldiers four miles long paid homage to
their majesties. The Durbar was a “big do.”

“At
the beginning of the twentieth century, it was intended to emphasize
Britain’s reach and authority and their importance to India.
And to further symbolize this relationship, King George announced
the construction of a palace to house the head of British government,
the commission for which was assigned to Edwin L. Lutyens, England’s
most outstanding architect, who would employ his brilliance and creative
mastery of architectural language to reflect the status and powers
with which England would maintain its empire in India.

“The
Viceroy’s Palace with its surrounding gardens, office, staff
quarters, maintenance and service areas was home to about two thousand
employees. Its construction took far longer than planned because of
the priorities demanded by both World Wars and the Great Depression.
Its effective lifetime was approximately 16 years from its completion
in 1931 to 1947 when India chose independence. A dream, a way of life,
an empire, a culture pronounced by King George V among unrivalled
pomp was terminated by a frail native Indian in a loin cloth and shawl.
The grandest plan of any culture can be altered suddenly or gradually
by human intervention. The Viceroy’s Palace, after Indian independence,
became its Prime Minister’s Palace. George V died in 1936. It
is doubtful that he could have imagined that less than a decade later
England would be without its palace and its dream.

“For
our purpose, there are two important points to be noted. The English
colonial age and effort imposed its culture firmly and broadly upon
India which under Gandhi, in the aftermath of WWII, just as firmly
and broadly rejected it. Both of these cultural shifts were the result
of human intervention.

“Another
example of cultural change brought on by human intervention is the
Holocaust. The Jewish culture will never again be the same as it was
before the Holocaust because the pain, loss and outrage of this event
have been so fully observed, experienced and recorded by Jewish sensitivity
that they cannot be dislodged.

The
course of a culture can be substantially altered, or even terminated,
by human intervention which is mostly determined by political leadership.
This realization is necessary to understand much of the world’s
social and political conflict.”

What
is culture?

“It
is an ever changing collection of beliefs, identities, speech, religion,
politics, arts, ethnic or racial characteristics, genetics and other
human attributes that are found in any group of people, and which
the group draws upon, whether consciously or not, to express identity
and cohesion,” said Ault. “There’s room for both
agreement and argument in this definition, and most cultures would
be able to accept it as workable, rather than the reason for a war
of survival.

“In
our present century on planet Earth, however, such acceptance would
be unusual as culture has been assigned a leading role in the continuing
political Punch and Judy show that in America dominates our government,
media and electoral system. This is a relatively recent development
in our, and the world’s, history. It used to be that cultures
could coexist with politics. Now, they are often forced to compete.
The individual human being that used to be thought of as a political
unit is now also a cultural unit possessed of many more dimensions
which can, therefore, be more easily manipulated and inflamed.”

As
America’s founding Christian religions and cultural norms compete
against growing Islamic cultural norms and antagonisms such as female
genital mutilation, honor killings, arranged marriages and language—all
citizens will be swept up into emotional, religious and antagonistic
confrontations on multiple levels.
